Real people.
Real images.
Real stories.
Together with you and your team, we tell what makes your business special and why your clients trust you. Nobody needs camera experience: we make sure everyone feels comfortable, looks good and carries the story.
What it can become
Whether your customers explain why they trust you or your employees why they like working for you: the approach is always the same, and it suits any company with something to tell.
Who we are and how we workWho we are
A good film starts long before the first day of shooting. That is why Director’s Cut brings together two people who look at the same question from different sides: what should a film make its viewers feel?
Nikolaus Grünwald
Film · Photography · ConceptSelf-employed photographer and filmmaker for more than 20 years. He has filmed in the Vatican and behind the scenes at Munich Airport, and always asks what an image is needed for.
For years we have worked together on concepts for films with a message and adapted them for social media. With Director’s Cut we now also produce together, from the first idea to the finished film.
How we work
Every film rests on three pillars: concept, shoot and edit. The concept carries everything else. We start by listening, so that the people on camera never have to act.
- 01
Interview
We listen: to you and to the people who will appear in the film.
- 02
Concept
From that we develop a story with a clear structure and a message that sticks.
- 03
Alignment
We refine the concept together with you until you sign it off.
- 04
Shooting plan
Only then do we plan the shoot, plus a dedicated B-roll plan so every topic gets the right pictures.
- 05
Shoot and edit
We shoot, edit and go through the review rounds with you.
Never been in front of a camera? That is exactly what we are here for.
We get to know you first
In the first meeting and the interview we learn what drives you. On the shooting day you are not facing strangers.
You talk, we ask
You do not memorise a script. We guide you with questions, and your answers in your own words carry the film.
We take care of the technology
Light, camera and sound are our job. You focus on what you have to say, and we focus on making sure you look good doing it.
We take the time it needs
We shoot as long as a high-quality result needs, and no longer. We agree the scope with you in advance, so everything stays predictable for you.
What you get
A main film for your website, YouTube and presentations, shot and finished to cinema standards.
Cinema cameras
Cameras approved by Netflix for its own productions: a true 4K sensor, more detail in highlights and shadows, natural skin tones.
Color grading
Every shot is graded individually and matched into one consistent look that fits your brand.
A story that carries
A clear arc: situation, turning point, resolution. Whoever starts watching wants to know what happens next.
16:9 + 9:16
One shoot, two formats. We plan the vertical version on set so it works on its own for Instagram, TikTok and Reels.
Typical timeline
How long it takes from the first meeting to the finished film depends on the scope. We set the schedule together with you.
